About the show

The Turning: River Road (Season 3) is about Lindsay Tornambe who at 13 years old, was chosen by the leader of her family’s cult for a special role. She became one of the youngest Maidens of River Road Fellowship in rural Minnesota. After a ritualistic ceremony that married her and other girls to their leader, she endured more than a decade of mental and physical abuse, hidden from outsiders.  But Lindsay and a friend decided to escape. They became the whistleblowers who prompted an international manhunt in 2014. It would bring the entire cult crumbling to the ground. A ten-part series from Rococo Punch and iHeartPodcasts. The Turning: River Road is part of the iHeart True Crime+ Apple Podcasts Channel—and this summer, we’re offering a 30-day free trial! Get early access, 100% ad-free listening, and exclusive bonus content. Available for a limited time. Open Apple Podcasts, search “iHeart True Crime+,” and subscribe today.
